Queen's offers 10 dynamic engineering programs

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is the most universal and versatile of engineering disciplines.

Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is a challenging and dynamic profession serving society to improve the quality of our life, the health of our social system, the continuity of our economy and business activities, and our competitive position in the international market place.

Computer Engineering

Did you know recent surveys have shown that Electrical and Computer Engineers are amongst the highest demand university graduates and that Computer Engineers are listed amongst the professions with the highest quality of life?

Engineering Chemistry

Engineering Chemistry graduates bring a strong background in both chemistry and chemical engineering to treat problems of industrial interest.

Engineering Physics

Thinking of Engineering Physics? It could lead to a career in Science & Technology, Aerospace, Computers & Electronics, Image Processing & Medical Physics, Finance, Education & Management, or Academic, Industrial & Government Research.

Geological Engineering

A Geological Engineer combines a knowledge of geological materials and earth engineering design principles to create viable and sustainable projects.

Mathematics and Engineering

The Mathematics and Engineering undergraduate programme is a challenging one. Students who are most successful in the programme have deep interests in both Mathematics and Engineering. If you are an Engineering student wondering whether Mathematics and Engineering is for you, a good question to ask yourself is, "Do you want to know
why and not just what?"
